Managed to get these rims in off of a ford and they seem to fit just right. I will cut the lip ans use a 3mm spacer and it should work out prety good.

Well It started out this way. The Block comes from a Police car that was overheating and I got Dibs on it. Then I bought a Donor truck and used the accesories out of it including the computer and wiring harness.

I am running a V-6 K-Member and as far as the springs they are stock and location the same. I am running 275/70/15's in the back. To get the right look I had to trim the fenders so I can fit a 3mm spacer without having to mini tub the same. Turned out the way I wanted it.
 
I am positive that your pictures here are not doing the paintwork justice. How about another close-up shot for us to see, and tell us what you did for paint.

Please.

The paint that was used was PPG the new Charger Lime Green, However I wanted to add something different therefore some green pearl was added to the clear coat. The stripes and the hood are flat black and painted not Vinyl. As Far as a good picture for some reason everytime I take the car Outside it has been overcast. Let me see if this weekend I can take it out and See if I get some justice. Also to mention it has not been wet sanded yet. So when that is done you well know that the paint will stand out a hole lot more. What are you considering for yours? I know it is hard to decide but I know that you will come up with something nice. You seem to have the right taste for it.
 
Very nice, I am doing the same except using a 2007 Charger 5.7 Hemi. It has not been boring to say the least. Any reason you went with the 8 1/4 instead of the 8 3/4 rearend. What tranny are you using?
 
First off rear end was a freeby. Second the tranny is the original one from the donor truck 45RFE just added the housing in the rear sold by S&P. Had to fabricate a bracket to make it work but it is up and going. Also the tranny dip stick didnt work so I had to order a LOKAR one for it. I understand you didnt bore it but you could atleast throw in a cam and some heavier springs.
Good Luck.
 
Well guys this is what it is loking like so far I am trying to keep most of the wiring out of sight. The ones you see on the right will be also concealled.
